First, I should mention that I read too many reviews, and a few claimed that the shoe is narrow; therefore, I order a "wide" version. Although I am enjoying the Minimus, I do not think I needed the wider version. That out of the way--the Minimus is light, fun, and provides reasonable underfoot protection. The traction is good. They wrap around the feet like slippers. Breathability could be better for summer running, but they are perfectly suited for fall and the winter weather we are currently in. Most important, they allow a quick turnover and greater trail feel, very different than a higher stacked shoe. I'd argue that they are also more stable for more technical trails; however, your feet will remember most of the roots and rocks. Overall, a decent replacement for my beloved Skechers TRL, and a little more forgiving than Merrell's Skyfire 2, which are great, but I would generally prefer the comfort of the Minimus.

No shoe, very lightweight & great traction but absolutely NO cushioning in the foot bed. My son said he could feel every single thing he stepped on

First time out with these replacing my standard Keem three quarter hiking boot on a trail hike. Loved how light they are and while I did feel trap rock under my feet it helped me feel more connected to the ground. Would love darker colors.

Super light shoe. Almost feels like wearing nothing ans far a weight. Only issue is this is not what I would call Minimus. Ive been running in Minimus since the original version and these have WAY too much foam on the soles. When I think Minimus I think almost barefoot these are not that.

Poor SupportGreat Support
The design and craftsmanship of these sneakers are truly commendable. The materials feel premium, and the forefoot offers generous room, making them comfortable at first glance. However, I had to return them because the arch support is too aggressive—it presses into my foot even when standing, and I can’t imagine how much discomfort it would cause while running. If Newblance offered a version with a flatter sole and less curvature, I’d definitely consider buying again.
